Chapter 1 ✦ Installing SUSE 10
So far, the system has booted a minimal Linux kernel that is sufficient to run the
installation process and execute the SUSE installer and the various utilities that it
uses to probe and configure your system. SUSE’s YaST installer now begins to col-
lect information that it will use to configure your system to match your personal
and hardware requirements.
The installer uses a very different boot process from that used by a standard SUSE
Linux system. The standard Linux boot up sequence will be discussed in more
detail in Chapter 4.
Configuring Language Settings
When the system has booted, you will be asked to configure your language settings
(see Figure 1-4). SUSE has put a lot of effort into supporting as many languages as
possible to accommodate a large audience. All language options are shown in their
respective dialects and associated fonts. When your language has been selected,
the installer will instantly change the system language and allow you to continue
the installation process in that language.
When you’ve selected your language, click the Next button or use the keyboard
shortcut Ctrl+N.
